Ok (sorry have tried to look for the answer to this and all the threads I found were on not eating and thus not pooing?)

Just brought new bun home and she is eating fine but I can't see any poos :( Worried the journey and change of scene may have stressed her into getting ill somehow :?

She seems fine in herself happy to explore her crate and has definitely wee'd (in her bedroom of course - she is sitting in her litter tray-what a lovely bed! :roll: )

I've tried to feel her stomach without stressing her too much (she doesn't like being handled) and it doesn't feel bloated or hard She looks normal just a bit unsettled.

She's eaten half an aple (sans pips of course) some dried grass and her russel rabbit mix, except for the boring bits that she doesn't seem to like! (that came with her will be gradually changing her onto SS like SPlott so that there are no boring bits to leave!)

Anyway, should I be rushing her to the vets for an emergency out of hours consult or just keeping a close eye on her for now?

:( :( :(

p.s.

Splott is so well litter trained he wont wee in his travel cage and will hold it in til we get home, as this bunny is used to being outdoors could she be waiting for grass to poo on?! :shock: :?

Have you got a run you could maybe put her outside in for a while see what happens, do you know if she has had an apple before as half an apple could have really upset her stomach, as if she has not had it before should gradually be given in small pieces.
I would keep a close eye on her, how long has she not poo'd for?
Also with her having the mix she is prob leaving the pieces that are full in fibre which wont help x
 
oh no? really? :shock: :cry: it was only a small apple but it didn't occur to me she might not be used to it :shock: (I put it in so she'd have something moist to eat on the journey so she wouldnt dehydrate) yes I think it is the fibre stuff she has left, but as she ate some of the dried grass I hoped that would compensate. I collected her at about 8- 8.30pm I think so since then :(

going to try her in the run now.....

*fingers crossed*
 
Have you got any infacol to give her? to see if that can help her. She prob should only have had a tiny square of the apple not half of it. Try get out on the grass for a while and make sure she is eating the fibre. If not id reccomend you go to vet x
 
we have poo :) put her out in the run and that seemed to settle her *phew* will be more sparing with apple in the future :oops:

It was probably more so the upset of the moving which unsettled her, as opposed to the apple so don't feel guilty about it.

All's well that ends well :)
